I only have one of these left after thirty years. I guess I could raise the bulb at the end of the season and check to see if there are any new bulbs I could separate, but I don't want to risk losing this one.
I call this my Candy Stripe Tulip, but I'm sure there is a different official name for it.
There was a period many years ago when I attempted to plant as many different varieties of tulips and daffodils as I could find. I found quite a few, that's for sure!
Happy Spring!

A few weeks ago I showed you the center of this crochet piece. I was working with a pattern stitch design trying to decide if I wanted to make something with it and, if so, what.
I really liked what I saw so have continued adding rows of pink and grey to this one. A couple of days ago I thought it might be a baby blanket and I'd add a toy to go with it, but now the blanket has grown into a large lap or even recliner blanket. Stand by for what I decide it will be when finished. I'm having fun with this stitch!
In the meantime, I made a lap blanket in the same stitch, but different colors. It is in the shop here if you'd like to see how it looks finished.
What are you making, baking, growing this week?
All the best,
Lois

The new blossoms in the garden today are yet another type of daffodil. These are the same height - 12 to 15 inches - as the common King Alfred yellow daffodils, but the flowers are clusters of multiple blossoms on the top of each stem. The blossoms are extremely fragrant.
Each day something different is blooming.
I love it!
Happy Spring,
Lois
A few days ago our Tulip Magnolia bloomed outside our dining room doors.
This week our Red Bud Trees are in bloom outside our living room doors.
I absolutely LOVE Spring!
Enjoy!

The parade of color continues in our garden.
It is so much fun to go outside and see what is newly blooming in the garden each morning.
I'm so glad I spent so much time in the garden years ago because we are still reaping the benefits of bulbs, trees, and shrubs that continue to bloom year after year.
What is blooming now where you live?
Happy Spring!
Lois
It is amazing how just a few Daffodils can fill a room with the sweet fragrance of Spring.
Happy Spring!

The Easter Bunny Came! Those were the words we heard from the kids every year as they were growing up. It seems the Easter bunny has remembered where we live all these years. ;)
We hope you all had as an enjoyable Easter as we all had.
All the very best,
Lois
